On one hand, not having Trump adds is great. On the other hand, it doesn't excuse the **** they pulled. Including causing gamergate controversy because lol gamergate
This has nothing to do with that though. It's not like this was done for damage control of their past issues. It's just them taking a much-needed stand on something.

One right doesn't fix 49 wrongs though. Even then, they wouldn't need damage control, their fans would defend them with their lives
Basically what Zebei said. No one said that this fixes everything they've done. Hell, I even alluded to that in my first post. But their past mistakes doesn't invalidate this.

My fear for the future is that the current situation of politics, especially with what's going on in Europe right now, is going to give rise to extremist right wing nationalist fascists, and their going to get a lot of support in the US

When you swing the pendulum strongly in one direction, it comes back the other way just as strongly

I have a very pessimistic view of the future with the direction politics is headed

That reminds me. There's a bunch of controversy in the Netherlands about racism. Some black woman said that the Netherlands were racist by kinkshaming Black Pete and stuff (It's not even summer and we get idiots whining about him already) and a rapper was arrested because of ethnical profiling, to which he interpreted as being black. The debate is that either the Dutch are too subconsciously racist, or we're such assholes we don't care who you are, we'll insult you regardless

tbh the only good thing I thought that came from EA was Mass Effect, and even then that's had its mediocre moments. Last year at E3 they literally had people like Pelé on stage talking about that sports game lol, I think it was FIFA 16.

I suppose there's Battlefront as well, but eh.

WHY do people expect more from ELECTRONIC ARTS?

They screwed up UFC
They screwed up Dragon Age
They screwed up Mass Effect
They screwed up Battlefield, TWICE
They screwed up NBA Live
They screwed up Dead Space
They screwed up Need for Speed
They screwed up Star Wars


Why do people still give this company faith when the only passable thing they can do is make FIFA and Madden
Don't talk **** about these gems.

The new signature matches my current Google+ avatar well.

Just as little warning, do not Google "Mara" and "Shin Megami Tensei" in the same sentence if you are too curious.

EDIT: Do not post any pictures of him here either.
I actually googled it. :laugh:
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/20...g_anime_shorts_arrive_on_my_nintendo_in_japan

The Kid Icarus shorts are being released as MyNintendo rewards in japan
NA release ****ing when?
PARTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!! WOOT WOOT!
:disco:
Problem is I probably have like, 10 MyNintendo Points :(. And no I won't touch Miitomo even just for the points.
Also I hope they never go back to 3D and/or that studio behind it. That was only alright imo.

How does one even get PLATINUM Points? Awwwww.

Oh and thank you for buying Stitch of all characters! Stitch is awesome. :D
Updated games to buy for 2016...
Pokemon S&M
Kirby: Robobot
Rhythm Heaven Megamix
Half-Genie Hero
Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir.

....I can't even think of anything else that's coming out and interests me.
My List to Get:
>Pokemon Moon
>Fire Emblem Fates Birthright
>Twilight Princess HD
>Possibly Dragon Quest 8.

About the same as last year. But that's because I tend to buy old games. I only bought MM 3D earlier this year.
Smash Bros anime?

Just follow the tournament scene for a while. I can guarantee you will see as much drama as you would in an anime.
If Nintendo hasn't started working on one by now, I do not know what they are thinking.

Because........TV ads and games sell like hotcakes? Also they used to be amazing, at least imo..

I think Aaron Webber is honestly suicidal.

He longs for death's cold embrace.

Pokemon Sun
Yooka Laylee
Final Fantasy 15

That's about it for me. Might consider getting Fates but I have to finish Awakening before I do that.

I would have backed Yooka Laylee but it was on Indiegogo if I remember correctly

I don't have an account there

Nevermind, I just checked a few moments ago and I have 440 Platinum Points XD. Must be the eShop visits. :)
I would get Palutena's Revolting Dinner and Medusa's Revenge....and even Thanatos Rising assuming they would be this cheap.

Gotta support Uprising! (I don't have any Gold points. I thought the Platinum ones were the more important and harder to get ones but I guess not)

OMG there is failed kickstarter game that takes place in the land of OZ staring Dorothy's granddaughter fighting with the tin woodsman and Lion against the scarecrow's army of zombie scarecrows

It was made by the creator of the Alice games, those ones with the girl that wields a knife and has blood soaked on her. Never played them

But that sounds awesome. It failed though...

HOLY ****! That Yooka-Laylee trailer was INCREDIBLE! Actually played/ran significantly better than I expected. It's like Banjo-Tooie on crack!

I may only contributed just enough to net me a copy of the game, but damn, I can already tell money definitely well spent.

I have a problem with Yooka Laylee. I plan on getting a good PC at least before the end of the year, but I've got a problem. Do I get a Wii U version or Steam version? Wii U would be better if I can't achieve this goal, but if I get it on PC I can use a mod that removes one of the voices from the backers. Some scumbag donated 5000 bucks to it, and I'd rather not listen to that ****'s voice

I only was Tinkerbat tier in Shantae. I don't think I actually get anything but the Tinkerbat transformation

You get the digital soundtrack & digital artbook along with the Tinkerbat.

Me, however, I'll get those (but soundtrack & artbook are physical with some bonuses), my name in the credits, a metal coin, a t-shirt (different from the one I'm wearing now), lenticular wall poster, and a flipbook.

I just love Shantae that much!

What person is this?

Also I wouldn't buy a game on Steam with the assumption it gets mods. Not every game does.

The only reason I did this with Sonic Lost World was because I saw the research going on with the already existing Wii U version, and because it was known that it shared file formats with Generations.

Yooka-Laylee might get mods but we can't know when since it's a fresh new game.

I would have put more if I hadn't give money to Mighty No 9

That was an awesome decision

Man, I'm so happy my Shantae shirt has arrived in the mail today. Super comfy and detailed I might add.
From Level Up Studios? I'm still waiting on my Freedom Planet shirt to get here. Been a week and I haven't even gotten a shipping confirmation. How long did it take for your Shantae shirt to ship to you?

Yooka-Laylee has 90's platformer written all over it, it's like a breath of fresh air among modern Western games (along with similar indie titles, of course).

Oh, and it laughs at the incompetence of Mighty No. 9, as far as Kickstarter-funded games go.

It's rather easy to tell apart which studios are in it for the money and which still embrace the creative spirit of video game making.

And then, there's Konami, which is on its own entire level of stupidity.

What I laugh at is the arrogance of them to release another kickstarter while Mighty No 9 still hadn't come out

I ordered it May 25th and got it today. Soooo... 12 days. They did send an email that has a link to a package tracker so you might want to recheck it.
